About the SD memory card slot
Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting an
optional SD memory card. Failure to observe it may damage the card and
the slot.
About the screen
If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discolored, attractive
projections cannot be obtained. Do not apply any volatile substances to the
screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
About the lamp
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a
particular lamp’s characteristics, usage conditions and the installation
environment, especially when it is subjected to a continuous use for more
than 10 hours.
About the liquid crystal panel
The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision
technology giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active
pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be
sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount
of neutral detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the
cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with
the cloth before use.
Do not wipe the lens with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.
If any dust or lint gets onto the lens, such dust or lint will be magnified and
projected onto the screen. Use a blower to clean any dust and lint from the
lens surface, or use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.
Precautions on handling
Cautions when moving the projector
Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the projector.
The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When
moving the projector, use the accessory carrying bag. When placing the
projector inside the carrying bag, position it so that the lens is facing upward.
Cautions regarding setting-up
Observe the following at all times when setting up the projector.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
If the projector is set up in locations with strong vibration, such as near a
motor, or if it is installed inside a vehicle or on board a ship, the projector
may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal parts
and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a
place which is free from such vibrations and shocks.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near
motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference if it is set up
near high-voltage power lines or motors.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to
carry out all installation work.
If the projector is to be suspended from the ceiling, you will need to purchase
the separate installation kit (Model No.: ET-PKE300). Furthermore, all
installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
If using this projector at high elevations (above 1400 m), set the FAN
CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 40.)
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the
images projected will not have good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over
any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent
reflection.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this
will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using
the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.

Basic Operation
NOTE:
B You can also correct keystone distortion by selecting the KEYSTONE item
in the MAIN MENU and pressing ENTER.
B Vertical and horizontal keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30° of the
angle of tilt by PT-AE300U. Vertical keystone distortion can be corrected
to ±30° of the angle of tilt by PT-AE200U. However, the greater the
correction amount, the more the picture quality will deteriorate, and the
harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain the best
picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the
amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.
B The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion is
carried out.
Correcting keystone distortion
When either the projector or the screen is tilted, the keystone distortion will
affect the image. You can correct the image proportions by the following
procedure.

Basic Operation
Setting the ASPECT
This projector allows you to change the aspect ratio to match the type of
input signal. Pressing the ASPECT button will change the aspect ratio
according to the successive settings shown below.
(You can also change the aspect ratio by selecting the POSITION item in the
MAIN MENU and pressing ENTER.)
* “S4:3” or “S16:9” can be selected when NTSC, M-NTSC, PAL-M, PAL60,
525p and 525i signals are being input to the PT-AE300U.
Illustrations for aspect ratio settings are shown on the next page. Refer to
this illustration for assistance in selecting a suitable aspect ratio.
About S1/S2 video signals:
B S1/S2 video signals are for 16:9 images and include a notification signal
when being played by devices such as a DVD player.
B When the projector is set to the “S1/S2” setting shown above, it will detect
those notification signals and automatically switch to the correct aspect
ratio for projection.
NOTE:
B This projector is equipped with an aspect ratio selection function. However, if a
mode which does not match the aspect ratio of the input signal is selected, it
may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture. Keep this in mind when
selecting the aspect ratio.
B If using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels with the aim of
displaying programmes for viewing for a commercial purpose or for public
presentation, note that if the aspect ratio (16:9) selection function is used to
change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights
of the original copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws.
B If a normal (4:3) picture which was not originally intended for wide-screen
viewing is projected onto a wide screen, distortion may occur around the edges
of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Such programmes
should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and
intentions of the original program’s creator.
B The following signals have resolutions that are 16:9 image sizes. The aspect
ratios for these signals cannot be changed while being played because they
are already established. (Refer to page 61.)
HDTV60, HDTV50, 750p, WIDE 400/480/600/720/768
B Image sizes such as Cinema-Vision that project wider than the 16:9 ratio will
have narrow black fields at the top and bottom.
